June’s mixtape is built for flights and bus rides, benefit parties and best friends. It’s kind of a 130 BPM multivitamin, or like mixing beer and Coke. Ingredients include both kinds of music: disco and electro, remixed Ibiza house standards, hip-hop and Swedish girl pop. Bobble-headed from SFO-CDG when I should have been sleeping, then spent a few hours over the past four days fine-tuning (mostly purging). My favorite part is probably in the middle, where I stuck Treasure Fingers’ nasty Fergie mix. That, or the Steve Aoki track, which is just plain awesome. I’ve wanted to mix Aoki out of Sexual Earthquake in Kobe for approx. forever. Backyard Astronomy clocks exactly 60 minutes and comes with a simple 3-step plan:

1. Put on dancing shoes.
2. Get a glass of champagne.
3. DANCE
